This book systematically explores the core technologies behind storing and processing data, covering relational databases, NoSQL, stream processing, and batch processing. Instead of focusing on specific tech stacks or vendors, the author breaks down complex backend mechanisms by focusing on three overarching goals that any robust architecture must meet: <strong>Reliability, Scalability, and Maintainability</strong>. It offers an incredibly lucid breakdown of core distributed concepts like replication, partitioning, transactions, and consensus correctness. <img src="/book_shujvmiji_cover_2596030970422877269.png" width="2756" height="1524" loading="lazy" alt="alt text" class="gallery-image" data-flex-grow="180" data-flex-basis="434px" ></p>
